Hello everyone! Today I am posting another project for
ScrapbookPal.com! I have some really AWESOME photos of my grandfather who recently passed. They are from his time in WWII. I am really excited to be able to commemorate him with this project. Here it is:
Most of the paper was printed with my Imagine, but I also used some scraps from Bo Bunny's etc. collection. I printed all the patterns on Kraft paper to give it a more vintage look. My design was inspired by a Sketches in Thyme sketch.
Have you seen the *BRAND new* Art Deco cartridge? I loved it the minute I saw it and was SO excited that
ScrapbookPal was carrying it- pretty much right after it was released on the Hello Thursday announcement. This cartridge is loaded with vintage/20's era images which I LOVE. When I saw these vintage plane images I thought they would be perfect for a page about my Grandpa!
I inked all the cuts with Tim Holtz distress ink in Vintage Photo to give it more of a vintage/aged look. I also used Tim Holtz tissue tape- I thought it provided a nice touch to the overall vintage look I was going for.
The flags/Pennants were cut with a Spellbinders die. My complete
ScrapbookPal supply list is below. This die set is awesome, and has several different banner/pennant shapes.
For a final touch I added this tag from the Bo Bunny. I thought the sentiment was perfect :)
